The enormous financial cost of criminal justice has motivated increased scrutiny and recognition of the need for constructive change, but what of the ethical costs of current practices and policies? Moreover, if we seriously value the principles of liberal democracy then there is no question that the ethics of criminal justice are everybody's business, concerns for the entire society. The Routledge Handbook of Criminal Justice Ethics brings together international scholars to explore the most significant ethical issues throughout their many areas of expertise, anchoring their discussions in the empirical realities of the issues faced rather than applying moral theory at a distance. Contributions from philosophers, legal scholars, criminologists and psychologists bring a fresh and interdisciplinary approach to the field.
The Handbook is divided into three parts:
Throughout, scholars seek pathways for change and suggest new solutions to address the central concerns of criminal justice ethics.
This book is an ideal resource for upper-undergraduate and postgraduate students taking courses in criminal justice ethics, criminology, and criminal justice theory, and also for students of philosophy interested in punishment, law and society, and law and ethics.
Jonathan Jacobs is Professor, Presidential Scholar, Chair of Philosophy, and Director for the Institute for Criminal Justice Ethics at John Jay College, and editor of the journal, Criminal Justice Ethics.
Jonathan Jackson is Professor of Research Methodology at the London School of Economics & Political Science and an editor of the British Journal of Criminology.
